Which two were those? The title wave has disoriented me a little. Plus lack of coma.

Out of terrible, terrible curiosity, I googled the lyrics. And this section, wow, this section:

Ha!

More wonderful Time parodies:

This was great. I LOVED that book when I was little. Still do, actually.

Does the person who maintains the xkcd.aubronwood.com site still check this thread? If so, I think (s)he should update the page to show the original posting time of each frame. Would be helpful for those of us who can't follow the comic closely in real time.

I have been lurking since the beginning of Time (Us lurkers are hiding around every corner). I was there for the single darkening pixel, for the mini-trebuchet, for the journey of Blitzgirl, and for the fading.

I just want to say one thing. Blitzgirl: Thank you so much for going on that journey, watching Time fade away slowly while you were silent was completely agonizing. By nature, I do not ever worry about anything, but I was worried that you would not catch up to the present before Time faded away. I was almost scared that you would get to the present, and Time would be over before you got there. This morning I checked the NewPix and saw white, I immediately rushed to the Book of Aubron and confirmed the fade out. Checking the OTT showed about 15 NewPages, I knew you had not checked in since about NewPage 415, and I was so worried. I carefully scanned through the pages for any update of yours. The NewPix slowly got whiter and whiter, and still no update. Then, a signpost! You had trudged through most of the NewPages! I got so excited, adrenaline was actually pumping as I watched NewPix approach #FFFFFF, hoping you would make it in time. *Imagine a movie is about to end, and the main character was rushing out of the exploding building, but we do not know if he made it yet or not because the smoke has not cleared*

Then a post by Blizgirl:

*stumbles out of Time vortex*

*blinks*

Wow. So this is Present Time, huh?

...Hi, everybody!

I almost cried, you made it home! You completed your journey! I am so happy you survived. Thank you, thank you so much for doing what had to be done, thank you for risking being stuck in the past. It was truly a rewarding experience to watch you travel.

And to everyone else: I think Time is almost come to an end, I expect it will be over entirely by the end of the week, if not in the next few days. So once again, thank you for participating, and giving me something to be a part of, even though I did not speak, I was still with you the whole way.

Oh haaay! I thought the party had ended but silly me - this is one of the things we have been waiting for! As new people awaken from coma, they'll just keep the Blitzrandir party going.

Champagne! Bacon! Now I have to get dressed up and let my soon-to-be-past-self wait for Kryton so he has a date.

Ok, I am truly freaking out. Still 5 pages behind, have to leave in half a time-frame, hat-queue-mob is full, still working on BlitzGirl's hat..... missed BlitzGirl's party, the OTC is Moving Forward without me ....

So - my apologies across the board to anyone I have disappointed (including myself, I suppose).

Reminds me of the flying party that never ends from Hitchhiker's Guide.

Don't freak out your cardinalness. The party is still ongoing, we'll still be here when you get here! (and there is a free bar, don't tell anyone - I opened a tab under the name of Helperhee hee)

Hi buffygirl! It's an honor to meet She-Of-The-Many-Hats in the Present!

And excellent -ONG, SPACKlick!

Knight Temporal of the One True Comic {bestowed by BlitzGirl: NP 1315}

We are dreamers, shapers, singers, and makers. We study the mysteries of laser and circuit, crystal and scanner, holographic demons and invocations of equations. These are the tools we employ, and we know many things.

Had to go right after the absolute FFFFFFrame, kids came home, dinner, went to bed, and I thought to myself, maybe, just maybe, there were some white frames and then something changed a little. Maybe signs of fade-in? Will the hashes keep flowing?

LaPetite is in one of the bags. She steps out of the bag and takes both bags with her, leaving Megan and Cueball alone to rebuild Time once again.

(If I was a Loopist, I might actually believe this.)

Thanks, aeglaeca!

LaPetite is lonely, while Cueball and Megan have their fun. Megan is one of my favorite girl's names. LaPetite wants to join in and say some really cool stuff, but her limitations and social anxiety means all she feels she can do is watch. Cueball and Megan don't notice her. She either goes completely crazy and kills them both, just gets on with her life, or Megan and Cueball invite her to join them.

Or they all get killed in a meteor strike after riding dinosaurs through the time warp.

Or maybe I just want to say something cool.
